Brendan Smith was born and raised on Long Island, N.Y., a bagel’s throw from New York City. In 1985 he unexpectedly found himself moving to central New Hampshire. Over the next 10 years he worked hard at adjusting to life in New England.

Since 1995, Mr. Smith has been recounting these humorous adventures weekly on the pages of The Weirs Times. He’ll bring these stories to life in a program scheduled for 6:30 p.m., Wednesday, April 16 at Taylor Community’s Woodside Building.

From learning to rake his roof, to buying firewood for the first time, to trying to fit into the social setting of a morning at the dump, he found these, and many more adjustments wouldn’t be very easy for this Flatlander.

The event is free and open to the public but RSVPs are requested to ensure seating. Please call 524-5600 between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. Monday through Friday, or email rsvp@taylorcommunity.org.
